Words from The French Pantry

Louis François Sorbitol (E420i) is derived from corn starch and obtained by hydrogenation of D-glucose. It is an odorless powder with a mild flavor. Sorbitol is found naturally in some fruits such as apples, pears, cherries and peaches.

It is a stabilizing agent that dissolves easily in water, retains and stabilizes moisture (controls water activity), limits the growth of some microorganisms and keeps doughs supple. Since it is not a sugar, it does not color doughs.

Use it in cookies and viennoiserie, ganaches and fillings, marzipan, spreads and coulis, confectionery, ice cream and low-glycemic products.

Words from Louis Francois

Add sorbitol to baked goods to improve softness and shelf life while lowering the recipe's overall glycemic index. In a brioche, for example, replace part of the sugar with sorbitol to keep it fresh longer with less sweetness.
